Creating and Using Worksheet Outlines 26
Hiding the outline symbols
The outline symbols Excel displays when an outline is present take up quite a bit of space. (The exact amount
depends on the number levels.) If you want to see as much as possible on-screen, you can temporarily hide
these symbols without removing the outline. Use Ctrl+8 to toggle the outline symbols on and off.
NOTE
When you hide the outline symbols, the outline still is in effect, and the worksheet displays the
data at the current outline level. That is, some rows or columns may be hidden.
The Custom Views feature, which saves named views of your outline, also saves the status of the outline
symbols as part of the view, enabling you to name some views with the outline symbols and other views
without them.
